🏈 Alabama's Ingram for Heisman?

[BAMANEWSBOT]

Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low

The guy on offense in the SEC who’s impressed me the most with his all-around play this season has been Alabama running back Mark Ingram.

So much so that I put Ingram among my top 5 Heisman Trophy candidates this week.

Granted, he’s only fourth in the SEC in rushing, averaging 109.8 yards per game. But he impacts the game in so many different ways. He’s tied for the Alabama receiving lead with 17 catches and is also a very good blocker.

Ingram leads the SEC with 10 touchdowns (seven rushing and three receiving). The next closest player, Tennessee’s Montario Hardesty, has seven.

What’s more, Ingram is one of only three players in the country who’s averaging more than 100 yards rushing per game and has also scored 10 or more touchdowns.

Oregon State’s Jacquizz Rodgers is averaging 116.2 yards per game and leads the country with 13 touchdowns, while Stanford’s Toby Gerhart is averaging 124.3 yards per game and has scored 10 touchdowns.

Ingram also has the kind of streak going that coaches absolutely love. He hasn’t lost a fumble in 278 career touches at Alabama. That’s 254 rushing attempts and 24 receptions.

You want to talk about ball security. Now, that’s ball security.

not to mention he only plays half of the game usually, due to rotation and the fact we've been pummeling opponents lately

No other player in the southern/ eastern part of the country has a shot as long as everyone has a Teboner!

Unfortunately the Heisman has become an award for QB's (sans Reggie Bush--only QB's have won since 2000).

So no, he won't get it.

If it lasts more than 4 hours, they need to see their doctor! :smile:

The arguement for Ingram is alot stronger than that for Eric Berry IMO. Not taking away anything from Berry..awesome player..but IMO Ingram has had more of an impact on the outcomes of games.

It has lasted for 4 years (+ if you count his ESPN recruiting road show). Time to see a doctor.anic:

That is true about the recruiting. I have said many times that if Tebow had Gmac's #'s he would have won the Heisman his senior year in HS.
